01.WelcomeInterclamp is a global brand of versatile high quality malleable iron pipe fittings with a multitude of uses. Designed for easy, simple and fast erection of rigid structures by hand with the minimum of tools, Interclamp is a cost effective, efficient system, particularly compared with traditional methods of construction such as welding, where specialist tools, extensive training and experience are required.
Due to the simple to specify wide range of Interclamp fittings held in stock, the components for permanent or indeed temporary tubular structures can be easily ordered and quickly despatched to your premises or site. The lack of prior fabrication required provides clear benefits over alternative types of construction methods, due to quick lead-times and savings in transport costs as a result of the off-the-shelf “kit form” of the Interclamp system including tubes.
The premium features of our product have firmly placed Interclamp as a leading brand of choice for tubular clamp components worldwide for many years.
More than just handrails...

02.InformationDesign & MaterialsInterclamps are made from malleable iron manufactured in conformance with BS EN 1562:2012, a dependable and well proven material for this type of product. The fittings are hot-dipped galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009, giving a durable corrosion resistant finished surface for extended life. A secondary additional coating is then applied over the top of the galvanising, to enhance further the corrosion protection and to offer a premium quality, aesthetically pleasing appearance. High quality stainless steel setscrews, which are specified in the optimal size for each size range, contribute significantly to the high structural integrity of the Interclamp fitting.
Powder CoatingFor customising to specific end-user requirements, powder coating may be applied over the galvanising of the tubes in a wide spectrum of RAL or BS colours on request, including Interclamp Safety Yellow. Where necessary, powder coating may also be applied to the Interclamp fittings as well. Please contact us with your requirements, so that we can discuss the options available to meet the needs of your exact specification, including fire resistance to British and European Standards and customer-specific fire safety performance.
SizesFive different size ranges of Interclamp are available as shown in the table, hence a suitable size can be selected for any particular application. Interclamps are easily identified by a type number of each design, e.g. 125, followed by a size code, e.g. D48, the latter part of which corresponds with the approximate outside diameter of the tube to be used (48.3mm = 1 1⁄2” nominal bore in this case). Hence a 90° elbow suitable for an 1 1⁄2” nominal bore tube in this example would be denoted as a 125-D48.

TÜV Rheinland Product Safety Type Approval and other Formal Independent AssessmentsThe core range of Interclamps is subject to periodic rigorous testing and continuous product safety type approval by TÜV Rheinland, the leading independent test house across the globe. Furthermore, a series of stringent vibration endurance tests has been successfully passed, which was conducted by a UKAS-accredited independent test laboratory, in order to evaluate the vibration resistance of the standard Interclamp setscrews. Load tests on typical traditional Interclamp and DDA Assist handrail structures, including Interclamp Pedestrian Barriers, have been accomplished by a NATA-accredited test facility. The results of beam tests for uniformly-distributed loads are also available.
We also stock tube and weld elbows

06.DDA Assist RangeInterclamp DDA Assist RangeWith DDA Compliant Handrails• Smooth, in-line handrail range.• Compatible for use in conjunction with the standard
Interclamp range. • Helps to meet compliance with the Equality Act 2010
(formerly DDA) and Building Regulations Part M 2013.• Saddle-type assembly or internally expanding to suit
3.25mm wall tube.• Optional O-rings for ease of installation and aesthetically
pleasing finish.• Easy accommodation of slopes and access ramps. • Powder coating available to suit contrasting colour
requirements of public access specifications.
The Interclamp Assist range has been especially designed to help compliance with the public access requirements of the Equality Act 2010 (formerly DDA) and Building Regulations Part M 2013. In order to give our customers more choice, a range of both internally expanding clamps and saddle type fittings is available, neither of which requires the use of welding, threading or specialist tools. Our classic range of internally expanding fittings requires no riveting or drilling of tube, whereas the saddle-type fittings require less tube cutting and hence easier handrail alignment. No other special fittings are required, which enables full integration with both new Interclamp systems and the refurbishment or upgrading of existing tubular structures to help meet the newer access specifications.
In order to meet the requirements of the above standards, the range forms flush joints with size C42 tube. Tube (and fittings where necessary) may be coated in RAL or BS colours to help meet "not cold to the touch" and contrasting colour requirements. Steps and disabled access slopes may easily be accommodated, facilitating compliance with public access standards.
For C42 size internally expanding Assist fittings (as with type 150), tubes must be 42.4mm od x 3.2mm wall thickness e.g. 1 1/4” medium weight to BS EN 10255 (formerly BS1387). All cut tube ends must be deburred and treated with Interclamp Silver Galvanising Spray or other suitable protection. Optional O-rings may be fitted to each end of the expanding Assist fittings to achieve the best finish.
For a complete package, we also stock and supply tube to suitPROOF

09.EasyguardInterclamp EasyguardRoof-Edge Protection System• Optimal protection of personnel• Permanent and non-penetrative• Free-standing or fixed systems• Adjustable and adaptable• Limited trip hazard• Can be assembled in reverse for
unobstructed walkways• Optional powder coating
Easyguard is a system of permanent freestanding handrails for roof perimeters and the designation of access ways and fire escapes, suitable for both retrofit and new build. Easyguard is non-penetrative, eliminating the risk of future leaks associated with penetrative systems and alleviating the need for weatherproofing around posts and associated costs. The system is flat footed and slides easily underneath rooftop obstructions, therefore providing minimal trip hazard.
Easyguard is galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 and is also available powder coated, again over galvanised steel to ensure the longevity of the system and its coating. The base plates are fitted with bonded ribbed rubber mats, which include an EPDM foam infill. The foam infill reduces heat transfer to the membrane to reduce membrane degradation. Easyguard is adjustable by up to 250mm, and is levelled to the line of the building and against the falls of the roof, improving the aesthetics from ground level. The system is designed to BS/EN/SR 15 1988, and is compliant to BS6180 for maintenance use, BS6399 Part 2, BS EN 13374 Class A and CP3 wind loads. Easyguard can be installed in reverse for unobstructed walkways and can be terminated by wall fixings, 2m return ends, or suitable counterweights.
New asphalt roofs may require tiles beneath base assemblies to prevent the system from sinking, with advice sought from your asphalt manufacturer. Heavier duty fixed rails can be designed to meet most loads and comply with BS6180. Fixed rails can be fixed to both vertical and horizontal faces of parapet walls or upstands for applications where a permanent free standing handrail will not suffice.PROOF

10.FRP RangeInterclamp FRP/GRP RangeFor Demanding Environments• Robust and durable.• Resists most chemicals.• Non-corroding so minimal maintenance.• UV-resistant for long service.• Fire retardant.• Low electrical conductivity for proximity to electrical
installations.• Not cold to the touch for extreme temperatures.• Lightweight for transport.• Safety Yellow or Grey so no need for painting or coating.• Grade 316 Stainless Steel Fasteners.
The Interclamp FRP/GRP range is designed for both more demanding applications and general handrailing (as a quick and easy chip-resistant alternative to powder coated structures). The robust, impact-resistant material will naturally not corrode and can cope with a very wide range of chemicals, so it is frequently found in water treatment facilities, chemical processing plants, marine and offshore applications and specialist manufacturing sites, where more aggressive environments may exist. Our FRP range benefits from low electrical conductivity, so is typically suited to handrails and guardrails situated close to electrical installations including railways. Low thermal conductivity is also an integral feature, avoiding the tube and fittings from being “cold to the touch” in extreme temperatures. The Interclamp FRP range is fire resistant – please contact us if you have a stringent specification to meet. FRP’s light weight when compared with steel structures means that both transport and handling on site are easier. As with all Interclamp solutions, welding is avoided and the minimum of tools is required for fast erection. Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners are supplied with each fitting, to maintain the corrosion resistance of the complete structure. Please contact us for more details of this exciting addition to the Interclamp range.
For a complete package, we also stock and supply tube to suitPROOF
